Overall vs. local

Safe is relative. The overall statistics may be lower, but there are still homes in my local area being broken into and robbed.

Tourist numbers

Crime statistics are based on population. They don't count that we had more than 50 million annual tourists. It throws off the numbers. I don't hear anyone talking about feeling safer these days.

Scott's re-election

With crime allegedly at a 43 year low, I do not feel safer. If you watch the evening news and read the newspaper, you'll see this is a dubious claim. A little tweaking on the classification of various crimes and presto — you have a reduction in crime to fit nicely into the governor's re-election bid in November.
